I guess I need to talk about my 401k at least once before March or something.

A lot of games now still have motion control aiming, you just tilt the controller. Sometimes it’s off by default though. I typically use the stick for big movements and tilt aiming for zeroing in.

That joke is NSFW, please present facial verification and ID now or you will be banned and reported to the authorities!

One of my Discord friends has a stalker and can’t get anything but automated messages.

Guilded went to Roblox-only in 2025. I’d never heard of it until someone else mentioned it as an alternative.

☝️🤓 Discord said they’re going to delete the data!

Yes, that’s the one small silver lining one the pile of bullshit this is. Plus you won’t need to do it multiple times anymore.

It comes down to is Discord really deleting it once they’re done and not training on the facial scans.

Why would you not be a fan of your own character? 🥺 You should play characters you like!

Oooh if you want the actual look with an animal sketch, do one of that orangutan trying to use a hammer and nails.

It’s hard to paint it in broad strokes, but yeah that was part of it. The one that really comes to mind for me is this thing called ilog which tried to map phrases in English to code (sort of like Gherkin does for tests, but I actually like Gherkin). It effectively hid very important logic for how the system worked in this really weird layer that you had to use a special IDE for that was super difficult to get working properly. I remember that seeing the text descriptions was sort of easy but seeing what actually happened was really difficult. There was a view that would actually give you something that was like code but it was just too difficult to get to. Even then, it was something generated, not something you could edit.

I’ve sort of thought about this a lot because it’s fascinating to me. I think the best option for stuff like this if you want to really pursue it is to use “beginner friendly” languages (Python comes to mind, despite me hating it lol) with some sort of easy web interface to upload and download them. Maybe use JavaScript since it works nice in the browser and can be run right there for tests or whatever. Make some sort of sandbox to limit what can be done or just have devs more actively review it (maybe a PR process). Maybe even have the webtool just be a front end for a tool that interacts with git (or some forge like GitHub specifically if it needs to do stuff like opening pull requests).

“Coding but for non-programmers” has been a thing for a while in the industry. Business rules engines were a big one. The promise is always the same: Non-technical folks/business folks will be able to use this. They never are. Devs still have to do the hard hard, now in a weird thing that isn’t quite coding.

In my testing, by copying the claimed ‘prompt’ from the article into Google Translate, it simply translated the command. You can try it yourself.

So, the source of everything that kicked off the entire article, is ‘Some guy on Tumblr’ vouching for an experiment, which we can all easily try and fail to replicate.

I haven’t heard of anyone using Soucehut. (I guess Soucehut itself counts though.)

I wouldn’t have necessarily thought it obvious Google Translate uses an LLM so this is still interesting.

I haven’t heard of any projects but Linux and Git itself using this.

I see no reason to view the chart as anything other than rating them as daily drivers though.

I think the current flow for Reddit account creation is they give you the auto generated username and you have to change it when you’re done creating the account. You don’t get to set it during creation. So because it’s an extra step I think some people don’t. (Though I may be misremembering. It’s been years since I used it.)

Clippy! What’s up man! It’s been forever! It’s me, Netscape Navigator! Remember me?
